Find your competitors internal links for FREE

Hey, did you know you can find your competitor's internal links without needing to pay for tools?


You used to be able to do this on Google, but it doesn't really work consistently well or at all anymore. So usually you have to use tools like ScreamingFrog or Ahrefs to look at internal linking strategies.


This works great but it isn't ideal when you only want to check a few URLs.


With WordPress, this is totally possible.


For example, if you wanted to see all the internal links on ThemeIsle to one of their most important pages such as https://themeisle.com/blog/how-to-create-a-blog/ all you need to do is put the URL in the search bar.


Click here to see the results, they've got 109 results. If you open the first result and 'view page source' in the browser and search the HTML with the 'how to create a blog' URL you'll see it's in there.


You can do this in WordPress because the databases they use are extremely powerful. You can do the same thing in the admin area on the 'posts' and 'pages' areas to find all your own internal links to a specific page.


It might be possible in other CMS' like Shopify, but I've not tested it. You'll have to let me know if you have any luck with that!


It's an extremely useful trick and a big time-saver.


Hope it helps.
